About this extension

This extension will not work from firefox 57+. As you may or may not know as of Firefox 57 the only extensions that will work are ones that make use of WebExtensions api. As of right now (November 2017) the needed api for this extension to work is not available. I'm tracking this issue here and the bugzilla report is here.

Unfortunately due to this still not be available with the release of Firefox 57 this extension is effectively dead for most users. While the needed api is planned there's no timeline on when. In the meantime the best way to get this functionality I've come up with is to right click on page and view page info (on mac CMD-I works) then go to permissions and then you can change the Set Cookies option accordingly. Clicking on the "i" in the url bar will tell you what permissions you've set for the site, if any, but you can't edit permissions there, which would have been really useful.

I am uncertain if I'll convert this once the API is added as I haven't even started the rewrite. I'm sure if I don't other's will create similar extensions as it is fairly simple to do. I thank you all for your great comments and wish you all the best.

Important information for Pale Moon users: Version 2.0 does not work with Pale Moon. Current workaround is to stick with version 1.0.1 and turn off automatic updates. Issue is being tracked here.

Originally created by Gorgias but he no longer maintains it. I took it over just to keep it updated with new changes implemented by Mozilla. The only notable change from his version is the icon is now a toolbar icon meaning it can be placed anywhere desired on the UI. I don't plan on adding any features but if something is broken feel free to open an issue on github.

If you run in to any issues please create an issue for it on the project page. I try to keep an eye on comments but an issue allows me to track it and request more information if needed. Thanks.

This add-on was originally created for and still works best on the add-on bar that existed in older versions of firefox. You can get the add-on bar back with Classic Theme Restorer or The Addon Bar among others.

Lots of changes here including fixes for an api change Mozilla did in v42.0 of Firefox. It also now supports multiple icon sets and includes a set that should be easier to see for people with color blindness. It is also the new icon for the addon.

The major version was bumped to 2 because this is not compatible with version 1. It uses different preferences. While it should migrate those settings over to new version there's no way to go back to version 1 settings. In version 1 the only option was to strip www from urls. Any cookie exceptions you made won't be affected.

(BREAKING) Properly namedspace addon preferences so they all begin with `extensions.pcookie.`. Old settings will be migrated to new namespace and old preference will be deleted. If you go back to a previous version the setting will not be correct. Only preference in v1.x was the option to strip www from URLs. This will NOT affect the exceptions you have created for sites.

Now displays a welcome page on first load. I know these can get to be annoying but it will only show on new versions if something important happened. You can view it at any time via addon preferences.

Because in Firefox v42 they're going to use URIs for everything this can throw off setting permissions. Meaning you could set the option for http but not https. Added a new preference that defaults to enabled that will modify both http and https at the same time. This won't affect you until Firefox v42 is out and the default operates similar to how permit cookies has always worked

Support multiple icon sets

(BREAKING) (ok not really breaking but will throw off people when updating) New default icon set. Currently all users will start out with the new icon set (called `dreadnaut`). If you still want to use the old icons they're in preferences and choose the `classic` icon set. Thanks to @dreadnaut for making new one.

Additionally added `krispy` icon set. Thanks @zakmac

Remove the Swedish translation. Most of the strings there were English already. May bring back multiple languages once I hook in some crowdsource translation service.
